The Bonsai Art of Japan – Episode 22
Bjorn Bjorholm
Bjorn Bjorholm was born and raised in East Tennessee at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, which undoubtedly played a major role in his love of nature and eventual involvement in bonsai beginning at the age of 13. From his initial introduction to bonsai, Bjorn has consistently strived towards the accomplishment of one goal – to improve the quality of bonsai art in the west. At the age of 16 he helped found the Knoxville Bonsai Society, and later, single-handedly developed the Tennessee Bonsai Exhibition, now an annual and continually expanding event.

Great video, the Taikan-Ten is a great exhibition, with high-quality trees. It was cool to see because I already saw on the blog of Peter Tea some trees and some trees that he has helped to prepare. Now I saw them back in the video, like the pine on a slab, that won the second price in it’s category. I would love to visit this exhibition sometime, but now I’ve visited it via the computer, haha.
